Comparison Intro Stuff

[fic_for_all]

Having some issues making a decision, so this is me playing with personalities and scenarios. As they say, if you throw enough crap at a wall, some of it's bound to stick sometime. You'll notice there are some similarities between each one, but with personalities switched between the characters involved. Anyway, onwards we go.

I have to admit, my immediate reaction was "what is with this family and "pantsu"?"

I kinda prefer playwriter!Drew. He seems pretty outgoing and like he'd be fun to have a conversation with, or at least stand by while he says things that make other people look at him in horror. The coach!Drew is also good, this is just personal preference. And wondering if he's going to bring up panties in the actual game.

I switched personalities from Drew to his brother between ficlets. Other than that, who knows. He may, may not, it depends on what 'version' I end up using.

He'd be a coach in either version, but in the first he has a stronger motivation to write plays (doesn't like his job), while the second doesn't quite as much. My biggest issue is working a conflict into him that isn't shallow or repetitive.

Ahhh, got it. What do you mean by a conflict that isn't "shallow or repetitive"?

[fic_for_all]

A conflict that isn't shallow or repetitive, ie, it isn't something simple to resolve ("oh goodness, I can just run away from this issue and have everything turn out fine instead of facing it"), or something I haven't done before with other characters on OSW. The problem with the 'fun' characters is that they usually come across as shallowly done unless handled very carefully, and that's something I want to avoid. I take it you're leaning to ficlet two?
